Internal binding of the floor shift assembly of my 2006 chevy Cobalt with automatic transmission prevented the key from being removed from the ignition. Also the push button latch on the top of the shifter was stuck inside the shifter causing the shifter to freely move from park to drive without the button being pushed. I took the car to sands Chevrolet and the shifter was replaced under warranty with part number 15926820.
